On the same block where a 21-year-old man held Salinas police at bay for two hours Sunday night, a 34-year-old man was shot once in the hip Monday morning, Sgt. Gerard Ross said.

The two incidents were separated by less than 12 hours.

Police responded about 11:40 a.m. Monday to the 1800 block of Cherokee Drive where they'd received reports of a shooting inside the Willowood Townhomes gated complex. There they found a 34-year-old man with a single gunshot wound to the hip.

He was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital and then flown to San Jose for further treatment, Ross said.

"The victim was not (in) serious condition," Ross said. "He was flown out to San Jose just to be sure, because a shot to the hip is close to the femoral artery, so something could go downhill quick. But he appeared to be fine as he left and it looks like he's going to recover."

Inside the taped-off complex, officers attempted to hail a suspect over a loudspeaker for nearly two hours. Officers were unable to find a suspect when the home was finally cleared, Ross said.

Officers armed with large rifles asked residents to return to their homes while the standoff ensued.

At 1:30 p.m., the shooter remained at large and no further information was available.

Halfway into the standoff an officer ran out of the complex, jumped in her vehicle and raced off with her lights and siren blazing. Ross said she was en route to help other officers detain a possible suspect. However, the man wasn't armed, Ross said. He was unsure if the man was ultimately detained.

Another man was placed in a patrol car early on. The man was related to the victim and wanted to make a statement, Ross said.

Ross was unsure if the incident would be classified as gang-related.

Monday's shooting took place only yards from a Sunday night standoff in which 21-year-old Nicolas Vela told 911 dispatchers he was crazy and threatened to shoot someone.

Vela was eventually subdued by a 40-millimeter direct impact launcher fired into his middle body and taken into custody. The entire standoff spanned over two hours and included a group of 50 spectators in the Olive Garden parking lot hurling anti-police insults and profanities at officers across the street.

It was the second standoff of a particularly violent weekend. Saturday night, 25-year-old Luis Edgar Garcia was arrested following a seven-hour SWAT call-out. Garcia was initially wanted on traffic violations, but allegedly fled officers and hid out inside a relative's house on the 1500 block of Antelope Drive.

Officers also responded Friday and Saturday night to a pair of homicides. In the first, 19-year-old Daniel Hernandez was fatally shot on Fairhaven Avenue and Haven Alley. Saturday night, officers were rushed by nearly 40 people outside 34-year-old Heron Moran's apartment on the 1000 block of North Sanborn Road. Moran late died of at least one gunshot wound at Natividad Medical Center.
